Forget it, now is not the right time to meet him, so Bai Zhaozhao took another path.

Cheng Jiayu was also very depressed at this time. It was all because of that stupid Bai Zhaozhao. If she could accept him, he would have spiritual objects to exchange for points, and then he could give her some gold and silver to let her live a good life. What's wrong with that? Why did she have to marry him?

Now, he had to climb the mountain to find the so-called treasures, but the system only said that they were to the west of the top of the mountain and fell asleep without even telling him the exact location. He was really pissed off!

When the sun set in the west, Bai Zhaozhao had collected many species into the space. She saw Cheng Jiayu again. He was climbing down a small hill with difficulty. He was in a very disheveled state, but his expression was very happy. He didn't notice that someone was spying on him at all. He protected the things in his arms and trotted down the mountain.

It seemed that the so-called spiritual object was found. Bai Zhaozhao waited patiently for him to walk away, then followed his traces and climbed up the hillside. After searching around, he found traces of digging. Haha, they were quite hidden.

Wait, what is this? Ginseng roots? It seems Cheng Jiayu is not very good at digging for medicinal herbs! Bai Zhaozhao started digging near where he was digging. Sure enough, she also found two ginseng roots that looked at least a hundred years old. So the ones Cheng Jiayu dug must be older and better!

So, he must be leaving the village soon!

Bai Zhaozhao had a good idea. As soon as Cheng Jiayu returned home, he gave two ginseng roots that were hundreds of years old to the system. The system said it was satisfactory and gave him 500 points. He wanted to exchange them for some gold and silver, but he also wanted to exchange them for a reading potion. This potion, when used on a book, would firmly weld the contents of the book into his mind.

Therefore, he did not exchange for gold or silver. He still had two small ginsengs that the system did not value. The next morning, he hurried to the town. He did not even take the ox cart for fear of any accidents.

When they arrived at the largest clinic in the town, the owner was heartbroken when he saw the two ginsengs that were seventy or eighty years old. It was obvious that he was in a hurry and didn't dig them properly, but he still gave Cheng Jiayu two hundred taels of silver.

This is a huge sum of money for Cheng Jiayu, but he is very calm. He has his own system and will never be short of money in the future.

A few days later, people in the village were talking about it again, saying that Cheng Jiayu was lucky as she had picked up ginseng just by going into the mountains. Now she bought a house in the town, found a private school, and was going to study!

On the day he left, Bai Zhaozhao was originally planning to go into the mountains, but he happened to see many villagers gathering together. Out of curiosity, he went to join in the fun.

When she saw that they were seeing off Cheng Jiayu, she immediately lost interest. When she was about to leave, Cheng Jiayu actually stopped her in public. He walked quickly to Bai Zhaozhao, who quickly took a step back.

Cheng Jiayu was stunned for a moment, but still said: "Sister Zhao, I know it's not easy for you to live alone. If you are willing to consider getting engaged to me, I have fifty taels of silver for you. This is not considered a betrothal gift, but just for you to spend first. When you have considered it, you can answer me, okay? Don't worry, even if you refuse me, you don't have to pay me back. With so many fellow villagers as witnesses, I, Cheng Jiayu, will never regret it!"

This deep love confession moved the villagers so much! It was said that Cheng Jiayu only had fifty taels left after buying the house, and she was willing to give it to Bai Zhaozhao for free!

But Bai Zhaozhao was disgusted. She knew very well that Cheng Jiayu was still thinking about the spiritual object in her hand. As expected, those who can't get it will always be in turmoil. And if he only has 50 taels left, wouldn't it be a diversion of trouble if he gave it to me? Wanting me to be guilty of possessing the treasure?

Just when she was about to curse, she suddenly felt a force holding her body like a yoke! She was about to utter the word "OK"!

What was going on? Bai Zhaozhao was horrified! She pressed her fingers tightly on the flesh of her palms, bit her lips tightly and didn't say anything. Finally, she forced herself to calm down.

In just a few breaths, she was sweating profusely. Seeing that she didn't answer for a while, everyone thought she was shy, but suddenly they heard her say: "You and I are not destined to be together in this life. My grandfather told me so a long time ago."

After saying this, Bai Zhaozhao concluded the deal and left quickly, leaving behind the villagers who were watching the fun and Cheng Jiayu with a gloomy face.

Cheng Jiayu really didn't expect that she would refuse. Could it be that she knew that he coveted her spiritual object? No, it's impossible. She still doesn't like him! Humph! Just wait and see!

In the end, he left unwillingly.

After Bai Zhaozhao ran into the forest, she entered the space. Looking at the blood on her hands, her face looked very ugly. What was that feeling of being shackled just now?

It is to let her body lose control, to let herself say a good word, to agree to Cheng Jiayu's engagement! It is to return to the original plot, even if this engagement is actually dispensable!

No, that's not right. This engagement is not optional. It will be a thorn in the future when Cheng Jiayu and the princess are married!

So this key node is a catalyst for the original work to advance the plot, then is controlling one's own shackles the plot master's way of setting things right?

Humph! Why am I the one who is causing trouble?

Bai Zhaozhao was very glad that he had been practicing martial arts these days and had gained a little bit of internal strength. It was this internal strength that allowed him to break free from the restraints and say no!

It seems that the plot player is not invincible, or this node is not that important.

The most crucial thing was that at the moment she turned and walked away, she actually saw a wisp of purple air flying away from Cheng Jiayu's head!

Is this luck? Is it the male lead's halo? Whatever it is, it means that I am already breaking free from the plot!

Bai Zhaozhao calmed down. She wanted to see whether he could successfully start his journey as a child prodigy by winning the top three prizes in the imperial examination without the 1 points given by her, his nemesis!

But now that he is gone, he probably won't disgust me for a long time. I also need to practice martial arts and collect species quickly. Only by becoming stronger can I break free from my fate!

Cheng Jiayu's life wasn't actually very smooth. He used his points to exchange for two reading potions, which he used on the two most important books. With his precise understanding of these two books, he was admitted to the best A-class in the private school.

But at the same time, he didn't have much money left, and he had to use the remaining fifty taels of silver to find the next spiritual object. That hateful Bai Zhaozhao, if she got engaged to him, wouldn't he be able to get her spiritual object easily?

A month later.

Bai Zhaozhao occasionally heard villagers mention Cheng Jiayu, saying that he had above-average grades and would be able to take the exam to become a scholar next year.

Above average? Isn't he the number one prodigy?

Very good, it seems that ginseng cannot be exchanged for so many points. He should have only exchanged it for reading potions or something like that. Bai Zhaozhao is quite familiar with his system, which is all about various magical props. The more magical the props, the higher the points. Even many props for cultivating immortals are directly sky-high prices.

Bai Zhaozhao suspected that the system was damaged and could not provide such props. Otherwise, if they could just give Cheng Jiayu a shining point of intelligence and talent, wouldn't she crush me?
